EV

Rear end a bit like a mix of an iPace and a MG5 (larger than the MG though)

Continuous red strip rear light

I pride myself on recognising cars but this one has eluded me! Any ideas?

The facelifted Tesla Model Y?



Or perhaps a BYD Atto 3?

that’s the challenge


not the Tesla, I recognise those

Rectangular light bar, more like the Y’s, not angled like the BYD

Talk about cars you never knew existed! biggrin (Apart from the Polestar, which is quite good looking IMO.)

I wonder what the thinking is behind the no rear window decision on the new Polestar, it's not as if there isn't space for one!

Could use any of these as a getaway car, they all look the same, if even car enthusiasts cant tell the difference, what hope do the normals have ?

Gone are the days when you could identify new cars from a quick glance, you could happily swap badges on most new cars now.

I was thinking something similar, especially from the back. The 5 door tall aero hatchback/beetlebum shapes, horizontal lights/light bar, big wheels.

For about 3 years the answer to these questions was always "Polestar 2" so good to see the baton has been passed to the 4.

Very nice cars but look huge on the road
